Tire Pressure Monitoring (TPM) - Description

DESCRIPTION

There are two tire pressure monitoring systems available, a base system and a premium system. On the 2500 series base and premium systems there is a light load switch located on the instrument panel in the center stack.





The Base TPM system consists of tire pressure monitoring sensors (1) attached to each road wheel (and spare if equipped with a sensor) valve stem (2), a central receiver module, an indicator lamp, and on some applications a Light Load switch located on the instrument panel center stack. The valve stem (2) used on this system is redesigned to look similar to a standard valve stem. The 2500 series truck uses a Tire Pressure Monitoring (TPM) module as the central receiver module, located in the left front wheel well forward of the splash shield. The 1500 series uses the Wireless Ignition Node (WIN) as the central receiver module.




The Premium TPM system used on the 1500 and 2500 series consists of tire pressure monitoring sensors attached to each road wheel (and spare if equipped with a sensor) valve stem (similar to the base system valve stem in the previous illustration above), a Tire Pressure Monitoring (TPM) module (3) located in the left front wheel well forward of the splash shield, an electronic display, an indicator lamp, and on some applications a Light Load switch located on the instrument panel center stack.
